Charlottesville, Va., Jan. 3, 2019 - The application deadline for the fourth annual SPARK! Hackathon, to take place at St. Anne's-Belfield School on January 26 & 27, has been extended. Applications are now open on a rolling basis until the event is full.

This two-day event of learning and making is open to high school students throughout the region, and powered with the help of community sponsors, mentors, and volunteers. Previous years included participation by more than 60 students from a dozen area schools, all of whom were able to build skills, expand their networks, and solve real world problems.

Hackathon applicants must currently attend high school, but no prior experience is required. To apply, or volunteer as a mentor or sponsor, please visit http://spark.stab.org.
